You captured the magic hour of lighting perfectly in this shot, Clifford. Like a train coming through a dream state.. just an awesome image in every way!

Jane LeBlanc

Fabulous, Clifford. I love the line of the train echoing the lines in the sky. Lovely, lovely, lovely.

Thank you Jane for your kind comments

Yves Langlois

Terrific description Clifford. The poetry writer in me love it. You must have some kind of link with those long trains crossing a landscape. Awesome photo. The simplicity of the compo and colour tones is magic. The poetic pale sky strongly hilight the long line of the train vanishing at the sunset point. Clearly the front page of a specialised magazine.

Wow Yves, thank you so much for your input and comments

Dennis Smith

Hard to choose: The description of what the lens captured, or the photo itself. A lovely shot. That fading light creates a feeling of separation and isolation.

Clifford Dupuis

Thank you so much Dennis, I appreciate your comments

Description
As the sun dips below the horizon, painting the Alberta prairie in hues of gold and amber, an eastbound grain train highballs across the open plains as it slices through the fading light.
